CONTAINMENT VESSEL AND SCALE-UP METHOD FOR CHEMICAL PROCESSES

摘要

A process container for use in a chemical process comprising two planar faces parallel to each other wherein the edges of the faces are joined together by adjacent curved bullnose portions. The process of scaling up a chemical process operation from a small scale apparatus to a large scale unit comprising the steps of: maintaining the diameter of the small scale apparatus as a critical dimension; inserting a rectangularly cross-sectioned extension between two half-cylindrically shaped ends corresponding to halves of the apparatus.
